This writer is of the opinion E.J. Dionne is the best journalist in the news and has been for a long time. E.J. understands the subject matter he writes about and he also knows the facts on the issues and how to incorporate substance over ideology. There is simply no comparison between E.J.'s commentaries and others whose commentary are mostly partisan opinions and not really the work of a true journalist.
Now comes Mr. Dionne in a commentary published by the New Orleans Advocate dated 8/2/20 titled, "Trump is only reflection of GOP failure to govern" which lays out how Trump and his party has failed at governing especially during the pandemic and economic downturn. And if that sounds familiar, its because you read it here first in PolitiDose much earlier. In fact PolitiDose in its past commentary the last few years laid out the case why Democratic administrations are much better at governing, even when they do not control the White House and the present time is a good example.
The readers of PolitiDose also learned through the years of commentary that Democratic administrations are also the best at controlling federal spending, deficit spending, the national debt, balanced budgets, lower unemployment, more job creations, keeping America safe, health care, a lower poverty rate, budget surpluses and a host of other issues. And PolitiDose has documented that with facts.
So this writer is thankful of E.J.'s commentary and the fact that his writings have a national audience and will have a more powerful impact than PolitiDose which is more local. Perhaps one day E.J. will write commentary about other areas of democratic governing as outlined in past PolitiDose commentary so the public will have a better understanding of what party is truly the best at governing.
